Eilen Jewell blends Americana, country, folk, and other styles acquired
while traveling the U.S. Since her 2006 debut album, “Boundary County,”
Jewell’s subsequent recordings have given fans variety, including a
homage to Loretta Lynn as well as 2009’s “Sea of Tears,” which bristled
with the electricity of 60s UK garage rock and Chicago blues. Her
latest, “Queen of the Minor Key,” draws on everything from classic
country to early R&B.

Melody Walker, quickly becoming a Chico
favorite, will open the show. Picker extraordinaire Jacob Groopman
complements Walker and they’ve melded their influences into a style they
like to call “Americali”—Americana with a California twist. Drawing
from bluegrass, rock, jazz, classical, Afrobeat and more, the duo create
literate music that honors tradition yet sounds completely of the
moment.

Join us for an extraordinary evening of exceptional talent that’s climbing the sonic ranks.
